1. Features Dip Switch Configuration Emulation mode, communications mode, baud rate, serial/parallel handshake, and head printing characteristics are all configured through dip switch settings. Data Buffer The MP200/MP200R printer has a built-in 48 Kilobyte I/O buffer allowing the host computer to free itself after sending the print data. User controls A power switch, a paper feed switch, power LED and Paper Low/Out error LED provide ease of use. Self Test Mode A comprehensive self-test mode is available which describes the printer configuration and dip switch setting information along with the version number of firmware installed. Print orientation The printer is capable of printing normal and upside down, the print orientation is selected by software commands. Selectable international characters The MP200/MP200R supports international characters selectable by software control. Multiple Fonts/Sizes Two different resident fonts are available for printing diversity. Each of these fonts can be printed in normal, double wide, double height, and quadruple sizes. Both fonts and sizes are software selected. Bit image graphic printing Two formats for bit mapped graphics are provided. Error detection The MP200/MP200R can detect paper-out and paper-jam as well as paper near-end, controller malfunction, and cover open status. Peripheral Drive Two cash drawer drivers are provided. Certifications (1) This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and 2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

3. Self Test While pressing the paper feed switch for more than 10 seconds after the printer in turned on, the self test mode is initiated. The printer self test includes a listing of the current default settings, read and write test of internal RAM, checksum test of internal program memory, loop back detection statement, a staggered dot line, a few lines of rotating character set, and a diagnostic report. The printer then enters into the On-Line mode. Configuration Setup When the paper FEED switch is pressed and released instantly as the power is applied to the printer, the printer will print the current printer configuration settings along with the DIP switch information. If the printer setup needs to be changed, turn the Power Off before changing the setting. The printer will be setup at the factory as follows; Model: MP200 / MP200R Firmware: Ver X.XX Interface: Serial Emulation: Epson TM-U200 CR Character: CR=CR only Flow Control: DTR/DSR Data Bits: 8 Bits Parity: None Baud Rate: 9600 CPL: 40/33 Char/Line Two Color: Installed Auto Cutter: Installed Journal : Installed Page 7

4. User Switches Panel Switches Paper Feed button : Pressing the PF button momentarily will advance the paper one character line and pressing it continuously will cause a fast feed at 15 lines per second. Power Switch A Power switch located on the lower left side of the printer is used to turn the printer on/off.
